- Comment on Microplastics in tea bags 1 week ago:
Three teabag types were purchased online (Amazon and AliExpress) or in a local supermarket. The online-purchased teabags were ordered empty (with no tea inside) and with a known polymer composition
The third teabag type (sample 3), bought in the supermarket, was a regular tea brand of green tea
300 teabags were transferred into a 1 L beaker (pre-washed and sterilized) containing 600 mL of Milli-Q water at 95 ◦C with constant stirring (750 rpm).
It sounds like they were using a magnetic stir bar rather than a spoon or rod but still, 300 teabags, most of which coming empty from Amazon or AliExpress in 600ml is ridiculous.

So you’re saying the US wouldn’t have as many bowel issues if we abolish the FDA and just build natural immunity like our ancestors did? /s

What does being a person mean to you? Could a sufficiently advanced AI become a person and if so, at what point would it become a person that deserves to be treated the same a human? If a machine can be a person, would it be plausible for a person to become a machine? For example, with transhumanism being possible, would a human that has ship of theseus’d with machine components instead of biological components become a machine?

I was born in the current millenia so I wasn’t around during the aerospace boom but it makes me kinda sad that looking back, there was so much innovation and hope for a future. I remember talking with some older people in how they thought we’d be living on the moon or Mars by now after seeing the Apollo missions and seeing commercial supersonic flight. I still remember going to the library and checking out books about how technology was developed and reading in awe about the insane engineering behind each thing.
It’s just sad that all of the potential and movement was just shutdown by politicians and the rich just so they could get that extra little bit more wealth and power year after year.

In the US, those are pretty much the only option unless you know a local farmer or producer willing to sell in bulk directly to you
